This paper examines food insecurity in Malawi. Conceiving food security as tri-dimensional, it is shown using Quantile, logistic, and OLS regressions that food security in Malawi is a function of both supply and demand factors. Specifically, food security as proxied by dietary diversity, reported...

Estimating effects of constraints on food security in Malawi: policy lessons from regressions quantiles.
Africa's demand for food and Development means added pressure on natural resources that are already threatened. There is therefore, and urgent need for technical innovations that will raise productivity of livestosk and crops without causing further environmental degradation. But technical innova...
Agricultural productivity and farm household welfare in areas of severe land degradation can be improved through ecosystem-based interventions. Decisions on the possible types of practices and investments can be informed using evidence of potential benefits. Using farm household data together wit...

Widespread multinutrient deficiencies in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) are among major factors for large gaps between farmers’ current crop yields and potential yields. In this study, we adopted a stratified soil sampling method to assess soil fertility-related constraints in farmers’ fields in eig...
